My Favorite Treat

Composed 4/6/16
Description: I’m actually going with NaPoWriMo’s suggested prompt for Day 6! What is the prompt, you ask? Well, to write about food.

You are white, creamy snow on a hot steamy beach
With light, fluffy clouds in rainbow shades overlooking
Despite your soft appearance, though
You’re dark and gritty within
A solid layer of raw, chewy texture
And a river of sinful silk
But then there is your deepest self
A rich, dark core of delectable sweetness that one must dig for
You are so many things, so many contradictions
But perhaps that’s why I love you
Love to taste you
Ice cream cake

Okay in Moderation

Description: My response to today’s Daily Prompt: Party Animals.

Some people get their sugar
From crowded rooms and cigarettes
From the vibrations in the earth
From laughs and possible regrets
They do their longing, seizing motions
Into the hours of the moon
And when they crash they grab their lifelines
Instead of drowning in their solitude
But it only takes a spoon or two
To give me a sugar rush
And in the end I take so little
I don’t mind the withdrawal much
In fact I like those moments
When my body can be cleansed
I feel a little more myself
When the sugar high ends
